This patient presented with left upper eyelid ptosis and right upper eyelid dermatochalasis, contributing to upper eyelid heaviness and asymmetry. Treatment focused on refining the upper lids, restoring lower-lid volume, and improving skin quality. When structure, volume, and skin are considered together, the improvement feels balanced and effortless.

“ When I made the decision to finally get rid of my under eye bags, I knew I would be sharing the journey with this amazing community. It was something I talked about incessantly, thought about doing constantly and honestly just really didn’t like about myself. 3 months after I couldn’t happier with how it looks - I didn’t do it to look younger, I did it to look refreshed. I did it for me. I am so grateful to for making me feel so happy about my decision - and so much more confident in my own skin. Ask any questions and I’ll do my best to answer!”

Incredible day today. 15 years of training with these amazing people and training partners. I am honored to receive my black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu so thankful for everyone. This has been an unbelievable journey the sport teaches you humility, perseverance, and constantly stimulates one’s mind and body. But the other aspect that no one talks about, is this beautiful community of incredible people that I’m lucky to be around.

CO2 laser resurfacing is powerful but only when you time it right.
Lasers like CO₂, BBL, and Moxi can completely transform skin texture, pigment, and tone, but they all rely on one non-negotiable factor: the right season. Your skin is more sensitive after treatment, and UV exposure can undo results or trigger unwanted darkening. That’s why the fall and winter “off-sun” window is the ideal time to schedule resurfacing.

CO2 laser resurfacing creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate deep collagen remodeling. It’s one of the most effective ways to smooth lines, soften scars, and brighten long-standing sun damage. But this level of change requires a calm environment to heal—shorter daylight hours, less incidental UV, and a strong skin barrier going into treatment.

Dr. Robert Schwarcz, based on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with a second office in Rye, NY, takes a strategic approach to laser timing. He evaluates barrier health, lifestyle, recent procedures, and whether pairing resurfacing with surgery will deliver the best overall result. Many patients choose to combine CO2 resurfacing with a facelift or eyelid surgery to refine texture and pigment while healing from surgery.

Under-eye bags can appear early due to genetics, not age. This lower blepharoplasty with conservative fat grafting softened puffiness and smooths the eyelid-cheek transition while keeping the patient’s natural expression.

Subtle. Rested. Still you.

When it comes to hooded eyes, trend isn’t the answer precision is. Every face is different, and the right plan is based on anatomy, not aesthetics that come and go. Whether it’s subtle eyelid surgery, a brow lift, or a combination of both, the best results come from a tailored approach designed to preserve you.

In facial surgery, every movement has direction and that direction defines the result. I think in vectors.

A vector is simply direction and force. In surgery, it’s how we lift and reposition tissue to restore harmony, not distortion.

Understanding facial anatomy and the right vector of lift is what separates a natural facelift or brow lift from one that looks overdone. The goal isn’t to pull it’s to restore balance and structure.

Every detail matters when the aim is timeless, natural beauty.

Facial harmonization is about balance not change. It’s the art of refining your features so they complement one another in the most natural way possible. Dr. Robert Schwarcz takes a full-face approach, looking at proportion, symmetry, and how light moves across the face to create subtle, lasting enhancement.

Whether it’s restoring youthful volume with fat grafting, refreshing the eyes with blepharoplasty, or improving skin tone with advanced laser treatments, every detail is designed to highlight what already makes you beautiful.

Tough lower eyelid revision case.
This patient came to me after four failed surgeries, including a transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty that left his eyelids scarred and pulled down.

I rebuilt the lower lids using a hard palate graft to restore structure and released the scarring that was tethering the lids to the bone. A cheek lift provided extra support and balance.

This kind of work takes precision, patience, and experience but when done right, the results speak for themselves. Every detail matters. Every millimeter counts.

For those who’ve been following my IG stories I’ve been sharing Emese journey and her perspective leading up to surgery. This series walks through her under-eye evaluation and treatment plan from my point of view. We discussed how fat pad protrusion (the puffy “bags”) and volume loss beneath the eyes can create contrast and fatigue in the lower lids. Through a precise lower blepharoplasty combined with a small fat transfer, I was able to remove and reposition excess fat while restoring natural contour without altering her eye shape. I’ll be sharing her recovery and results next including her own thoughts on how this experience changed how she feels about herself.

If you have questions about this procedure whether for prevention, surgical options, or alternatives drop them below and I’ll cover them in a future post.

Public announcement on Mental Awareness day : happy Friday, everyone. I want to take a moment to address something I see far too often: body shaming online. It’s not going away, but I won’t tolerate it. Too many people hide behind screens saying things they’d never say face-to-face.
As a facial plastic surgeon, I see firsthand how words can impact confidence, healing, and overall well-being. At the end of the day, respect costs nothing. Let’s keep it real and keep it kind.
